  • You are actively building a business (idea, MVP, or early traction)
  • This may be your first company or your fifth
  • You want help getting to $20K–$100K in MRR efficiently
  • You are willing to move quickly, take feedback, and execute
  • You want a partner who has scaled and exited multiple companies


You should not apply if you are looking for:

  • Passive mentorship
  • Theory without execution
  • We are hands-on

  • We work together to:
  • Validate demand
  • Build and refine offers
  • Acquire customers
  • Hit MRR milestones quickly


Engagements may evolve into equity partnerships based on traction and fit.

  • What We Bring as a PartnerMultiple exits and experience scaling to $225M ACV
